Bengaluru: The state’s Minister for Agriculture B.C Patil, who is also Koppala’s In-charge Minister received COVID-19 vaccine from the government doctors at his residence in his constituency in Hirekerur.

Speaking about the vaccination, B.C Patil said that hesitation around receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is not right. “Some people are spreading negative propaganda around this and nobody must pay any attention to these instances. Karnataka government is providing Corona vaccination to protect the people. In this regard, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has received COVID-19 vaccine from government doctors and become a role model for the entire nation”, he said. 

“The Corona Vaccine which was developed in India has received praise. During the Corona period, The Karnataka and Central government has stood beside the people and made people’s health their primary priority.  After receiving the vaccination, if we listen to the simple instructions given by the doctors and follow them, then that is enough. Without any fear, one must receive the corona vaccination”, BCP insisted.
